Abstract

A new and unique X Mangave plant named ‘Praying Hands’ characterized by habit that is rounded, mounded, with lanceolate foliage. The overall shape is globose as it develops and becomes tear-drop to pyriform-shaped in maturity. The numerous, dark, olive-green, lanceolate leaves have large, firm, deep wine-colored apical mucro, and few, small, widely-spaced marginal teeth. Leaf bases are outwardly and then become upwardly in the middle and strongly introrse toward the apices. Leaves are dark olive-green with small light wine spotting and thin deep wine-colored margins. The new plant is suitable as a potted houseplant plant, as a container plant for the patio or garden and for the garden or planted in the landscape.
